Testimonials

“Thank you again Kristen, for doing such an amazing job with our ceremony. Everyone told us that it was so clearly a reflection of us and that makes us so happy! We’ve just gotten back from our honeymoon and have been looking at the footage that our videographer shot of the ceremony – brings tears of happiness to our eyes!” ~ Eliza and Ryan

Reuben and I both felt an overwhelming sense of joy and happiness being in your presence. I can’t tell you how many of our guests came up to me after and said, “Who was the lady who married you both? She is amazing!”. A few actually asked if you were a relative of mine because we look alike! I take that as a huge compliment! Your 29 years of marriage sounds amazing to me. I am extremely excited to embark on our new journey as husband and wife, but am not blind to the fact that there will be challenging times! Communication and trust are two key factors to a successful marriage I hear, so this will be something we both put a lot of time into! Again, can’t thank you enough for your kindness and openness—and most of all, your positivity and radiance! xo Ashley and Reuben Major!

“We just wanted to say thank you again! You made our ceremony perfect.” ~ Brittany and Thomas

We feel very blessed to be married by such a genuine and loving person as yourself – thank you for working so hard to make it all perfect for us. It was the most wonderful day of my life so far and I still feel like I am in a dream. Thank you for your blessings in our marriage.

Amanda & Scott

“We wanted to thank you for helping to create a truly memorable ceremony for us. We had an awesome day, filled with love, laughter, wonderful memories. Everyone loved the ceremony and our wedding party commented on how much they enjoyed meeting and being able to share time with you at the Rehearsal dinner, it really helped to create that sense of community and coming together. We would love to keep in touch with you and to have you and your husband over for dinner sometime in the near future. You are such a wonderful person and we are truly blessed that you agreed to officiate our wedding ceremony, you set the tone for what turned out to be a day filled with many blessings. We hope that the success of your 30 year marriage will rub off on us.” ~ Mike & Joanne

Thank you so much Kristen!

We feel lucky to have had you officiate our wedding, it was great fun and you were able to calm my nerves. Thanks for all your help along the way!

Courage & Krystina

I am guilty of always looking at how the future will play out and forget to enjoy today, right now, for what it is. So when I said “yes” to my now-husband’s proposal, all I could think about was my wedding and how it will play out, and kept forgetting to enjoy my engagement! As the day neared and anxiety started to rise, we hired Kristen to be our officiant. I had outlined exactly how I wanted my ceremony as I had a constant replay of my future ceremony playing in my head. We wanted a non-traditional ceremony that celebrated us and our union and we got just that. The day came and so did Kristen, ready with an outline that we drafted together. It was perfect. Because of Kristen, I was able to enjoy today, right now, exactly how it is. With all of the little stumbles and laugh-worthy moments that weren’t accounted for! Do I recommend her? Absolutely! She is not only a wonderful and open minded officiant (who won’t preach for 30 min at your wedding), but a loving and open hearted soul that sees all the good in the world. Her presence as you walk down the aisle, or nervously wait for your bride to arrive, will calm your nerves and let you enjoy every moment of your special day, exactly how it is.

Stephen & Stacey

Our wedding was truly an amazing and very romantic experience for us. Just as we had imagined and even more. We appreciated and enjoyed every minute of it and it will always be in our hearts! We thank you so much for guiding and supporting us all the way from the beginning with our thoughts and ideas for the ceremony. You were very present and we felt very secure in you leading the ceremony. We are glad that we met you before the ceremony and got to know you. We are also glad you mingled with Simon and our friends before the ceremony. That meant a lot to us. Thank you so much Kristen! We will always remember you being a part of our very beautiful, important and romantic day. We hope our paths will cross again some day ….Tina & Simon

I have completed numerous assessment tools that have been helpful, but somewhat abstract. I was intrigued by the science behind the NBI Brain Profile, hoping for concrete insight. The tool, and Kristen's consultation, have been the most helpful, enlightening and encouraging discovery process I have yet encountered. I came away with a detailed understanding of how I think, what I need to function in my "sweet-spot", and in what environments my brilliance can be best expressed.
I highly recommend (actually, I urge!) everyone, whether you are mid-career, at a crossroads, or just starting on the journey, to complete an NBI Brain Profile and discover more of how you're wired, how you function best, and what kind of pursuits will be a natural "fit" - wouldn't that be fun?

"Since doing my profile I feel like someone came and took 'invisible chains' off. Things that have been negatives are now positives, and the direction I want to go in is that much clearer. Kristen you bring life to people and the journey of discovery to my brilliance was liberating."

"I never knew there was so much to know about my brain! Kristen helped me find out things that I always sort of knew… but now I really know!"
